In my country (eastern Europe, up north compared to most), each winter is colder than previous, breaking records of 100s years. We basically don't have a summer anymore, only 6 months of winter with 3 months of winter-ish autumn inbetween and maybe 10-15 days of +20-25 C.

What's this global warming you're speaking of?


That's why it's called global warming - some regions will experience average cooler temperatures for a bit but overall the average global temperature rises.

Hmm i'd like to add something else into the equasion;

England (and the UK i guess) have noticed over the last 2 years that our seasons are fucked up. Majorly. For example, our summer does not seem to happen at all and we have a good "rain" season for 1-2 months, much longer than it should be (april for a few weeks). It has got to the point now where our seasons seem to go like;

Late December-Late March = Winter
April - June = Spring
Late July(if we are lucky) - Oct = Summer
Oct - Dec = Autumn

It basically is like that with i guess alot of overlapping. Alot of rainning spring moments after the winter which normally ends at the end of March then a stupidly late summer. Last year i remember my mums birthday on October 28th out in the garden having a BBQ...END OF OCTOBER!!! My dads used to be the BBQ birthday August 9th and it has rained the last 2 years throughout the month.

Could it just be that the climate is changing due to the Polar Ice Caps are shifting around again.

If you have a spare 5minutes and you are interested in this topic give this a read;
Polar Shift Theories

I first learnt about the Polar Shift Theroies when listening to a Stephen Hawking documentary on the subject, it was very good and interesting :D

It's annoying when people harp on and say, "What global warming? It was like super duper cold in the summer". It's climate change that is the effect. Warmer in some places, colder in others. More frequent disasters caused by disturbed weather patterns.

But along will come an intelligent person and say, "Don't believe it, it's been raining all week and it's summer."

What.

If they didn't predict this, the models and/or the data must be very flawed. Thus, climate science and meteorology are still in its infant stages and their agents shouldn't be able to portray their opinions as absolute science.

You do know that 1/3 of the ice cap is emerged, and therefore the water level rises when the ice melt right?

You just said, "global warming doesn't exist" and "the earth gets warmer"

If the globe, aka earth, gets warmer then global warming exists. I think you might mean changes in climates occur regardless of human interaction. Which is true. Whether we accelerated it is up for debate.

I wonder what information they have on the Antarctic, would hope there isn't a similar occurrence there in a couple years.

There is a large difference between respecting people's opinion and dismissing an uneducated and irrelevant piece of information.

Let's say this was a debate on wheter gay people should be allowed to adopt children. Both parties are discussing, and someone shows up and says "LOL FAG SHOULD GO TO HELL". Is it an opinion, or an uneducated and irrelevant piece of information?

No i was just adding that it's not just Greenland that is suddenly changing temperature and most of my argument is just about the polar ice caps shifting about.

This is a quote from the article i linked you obviously didn't read or look at to back up my statement i wrote;


Some supportive historical facts were given by Hapgood to support these shifts in continental position and climate:

The presence of ice caps in North America and Northern Europe, highly eccentric compared to the present north pole.

The contemporaneous absence of ice caps from Siberia, which was actually populated to its northernmost regions by an impressive zoological community.

The Arctic Sea was warmer than it is today, and there were human beings living in the New Siberia Islands.

Antarctica was partially free of ice.

The general climatic situation of the Earth was coherent with a different position of the poles


Are all facts to help support that the climate has changed over the course of history from what we see today to what we have seen in the past, its just a huge circle due to shifting of the earth's axis and the changing of the Polar Ice Caps

1. He said that there's no such thing as global warming and then admitted that there are cycles of global warming and cooling (even if he may not know how they're caused).

2. Also, these quotes:

"The scientific opinion on climate change is that the Earth's climate system is unequivocally warming ... No scientific body of national or international standing has maintained a dissenting opinion" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_opinion_on_climate_change)

And then read through all the opinions ^^

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but though the melting of ice is a very graphic and easily recognised event, it's not proportional to the rise in sea levels, which is the phenomenon we should worried about.

A simplified example:
Water is most dense at 4 degrees celcius, so if you took a bunch of floating ice, and melted that ice to 4 degrees celcius, the sea level would actually drop.

Of course, the result of heavy global warming is still a net rise in sea levels (an increase in the ratio of warmer water to 4 degree water), but this is still a thing to consider.

If anything your comment resembles the "LOL FAG SHOULD GO TO HELL" more so than his. His "irrelevant" piece of information is much better than your condescending attitude. Refute him if you don't agree,

To fight global warming maybe we should stop heating our houses.
People always talk about how co2 causes global warming , but all the heating of our houses, the cooling water of energy plants,and such things must add some heat as well?
Basicly anny industrial activity comes with the output of a huge amount of warm gasses/water/air,not to mention volcanos and such (not meaning the co2 from them, just their heath)
Is the contribution of all this heath to global warming insignificant compared to the contribution of co2?
Its a thing i sometimes wonder about and i cant seem to find anny info on it on the web.
